			<h1>COMPLEX Function</h1>
			<p>The <b>COMPLEX</b> function is one of the engineering functions. It is used to convert a real part and an imaginary part into the complex number expressed in a + bi or a + bj form.</p>
			<p>The <b>COMPLEX</b> function syntax is:</p> 
			<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>COMPLEX(real-number, imaginary-number [, suffix])</em></b></p> 
            <p><em>where</em></p>
            <p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>real-number</em></b> is the real part of the complex number.</p>
            <p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>imaginary-number</em></b> is the imaginary part of the complex number.</p>
            <p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>suffix</em></b> is an indicator of the imaginary part of the complex number. It can be either "i" or "j" in lowercase. It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the function will assume <b><em>suffix</em></b> to be "i".</p>
            <p>The values can be entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.</p>
			<p>To apply the <b>COMPLEX</b> function,</p>
			<ol>
			<li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>
			<li>click the <b>Insert function</b> <div class = "icon icon-insertfunction"></div> icon situated at the top toolbar,
				<br />or right-click within a selected cell and select the <b>Insert Function</b> option from the menu,
				<br />or click the <div class = "icon icon-function"></div> icon situated at the formula bar,
			</li>
			<li>select the <b>Engineering</b> function group from the list,</li>
			<li>click the <b>COMPLEX</b> function,</li>
			<li>enter the required arguments separating them by commas,</li>
			<li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li>
			</ol>
			<p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p>
